บท 122: Sister

Punish him? 

Oh, she had wanted to do that. She had wanted to punish them all and then herself, her last punishment being to disappear from this world. 

Disappear. That was still a dream. One she had been close to achieving and that she would have probably achieved if not for a bigger dream. To see her sister. 

Malachi looked at her bruised ankle while Nako came back with a bowl of cold water with ice. Ravina was sure he didn't give her instructions on how to prepare it but he took the bowl and then lifted her feet, placing it under. 

"Endure a b..." 

She just sat her feet in the cold water without flinching. She needed it. The pain or whatever else it was. The sense of punishing oneself. Painful yet soothing. She just had to fight the soft sigh that threatened to escape her lips. 

Malachi looked up at her, disturbingly so from being on his knees. She didn't know why this always bothered her. 

"You are careless."

"I know."
